“During my tenure as President & CEO of Steuben Glass, Scott Avidon was by far the most effective marketing executive in terms of problem solving, creativity and innovative thinking. He was a team player. Everyone on our New York City staff and at our plant in Corning respected him as a person and admired his work.”
Donald M. Rorke, Former President & CEO, Steuben Glass
“While COO at Russ Berrie, I had the opportunity to
get to know Scott Avidon on both professional and personal levels. I saw how
Scott successfully managed the different departments he oversaw with integrity,
fairness, clarity and a great ability to delegate without losing control or
authority. Scott is one of the rare individuals that can transition seamlessly
through all aspects of an organization. His communication and interpersonal
skills are outstanding and his dual degrees in both business and design really
made him invaluable. These are skills and areas of expertise that truly set Scott
apart from everyone else. The importance of integrity and honesty is vital
especially in today’s business world. Scott demands the highest levels of
integrity and honesty from himself. I enjoyed working with Scott and would
welcome the opportunity to do so again in the future.”
Tom Bowles, Former COO, Russ Berrie and Company
“I had the pleasure of working with Scott on
several projects during his tenure at Steuben and Rosenthal. We kept a close
and productive design relationship that I believe produced work of the highest
caliber. Professional design practice, for both product or architecture, is
complex and requires diligence from both client and designer, Scott exhibits
these skills with his attention to detail and guiding vision.”
Paul Haigh, President, Haigh Architects
“I have had the pleasure of working with Scott Avidon for several years as President of The Weather Co. Together we created several significant business opportunities. I found Scott to be a valuable asset and business partner. Creating a new business is much easier when the person you are working with is someone with integrity and who you can trust. Scott has earned my respect as a businessman and as a friend. I look forward to many more opportunities to work with Scott in the future.”
Alex Dumin, President, The Weather Company
“As President of a company that focuses on helping charitable organizations I have seen many dedicated and selfless people devote much of themselves to great causes. Scott Avidon has proven year after year that he walks the talk and gives freely of his time and energy to help raise awareness and much needed resources to eradicate Lyme disease. Scott is also a very humble and sincere person, who puts the organization first and leaves his ego at the door.”
